AuntB, are those your marbles on the deck railing? Did I leave my marbles with you cause I know I have lost them somewhere....LOL
MW bloom is a long time off. I first saw a bud on Dec. 16 and wasn't sure what it was.
It finally bloomed around Feb. 13. so it took 2 months. I had blooms all over, the picture shows only about 3 from one spot. I couldn't get them all in the picture.
The blooms were 7 inches long and 6 inches wide. The brug wasn't even a year old at that point.
I don't even know if that is considered a big bloom or not. I am lucky it even bloom because I was gone and the poor brug wilted something awful, and then stupid spider mites appeared!!

Here is a picture of it back in Feb 2008.

I have buds appearing again on the same plant.
I too can take cutting from the MW, I just want to wait until after she blooms.
AuntB, looking at the old post the other brug you gave me was Pink Beauty. Does that sound familiar? Don't know about the one we got at Arnolds, I don't have him in the sun at all. He seems to be growing but sure doesn't like the sun from what I can tell.
